We offer you

We are now looking for substitute nurses for our special housing facilities and home care services. With us, you will get a varied, responsible, and meaningful job where you make a real difference in people's lives – every day.

You will work in a business where collaboration and a holistic view are central. Within both special housing and home care, you work together with experienced nursing assistants, nurse colleagues, and other professions. The work also involves collaboration with doctors and other actors within the municipal healthcare system.

Our special housing facilities consist of several departments organized into smaller units to create security and continuity. Within home care, you meet patients in their own homes, which gives independent work with great opportunities to plan and prioritize your interventions.

As a substitute with us, you will get:

• A structured introduction based on your experience
• Support from experienced colleagues and accessible leadership
• A good work climate where we help each other
• A developing job where you get to use your full competence

The work can sometimes involve a high pace and requires flexibility, but also gives good opportunities for development and variation.

• Healthcare interventions in special housing and ordinary housing (home care)
• Collaboration with care staff, doctors, and other professions
• Documentation according to current legislation
• Supervision and support for nursing staff
• Participation in quality and improvement work

The work covers both planned interventions and acute assessments, which requires good prioritization skills, flexibility, and a solution-focused approach.

• Category B driver's license
• Good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written

Merits:

Personal Competencies:

To thrive in the role, we see that you are quality-conscious and work structured with a focus on patient safety and good care. You have good judgment and can make well-founded decisions even in situations requiring quick assessments. You are flexible and can adapt to changed conditions in the work. The role requires a high degree of independence, especially within home care, while you have good collaboration skills and contribute to a positive work climate.

We place great emphasis on personal suitability.
